According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) 'Uppon these lands stands a good thatcht house' which in 1640 was in the proprietorship of 'James Earl of Ormond' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 10). It was speculated that this house might be at the small settlement cluster 'Derrycloney' as depicted on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map. However, the house and outbuildings at Derrycloney appears to be of late 18th/early 19th-century date and does not appear to incorporate any earlier features. The house referred to in the Civil Survey is unlocated within the townland.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
